"Electrofishing is a method for capturing and sampling aquatic species. Its use by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) began in the 1950s and continues to be used in the Gulf Region as the primary method for assessing juvenile salmon populations for science assessment programs. This report provides a detailed description of the field protocols that have been and continue to be employed by DFO in Gulf Nova Scotia (Gulf NS), Salmon Fishing Area (SFA) 18, and which are similar to those used in other SFAs by the Gulf Region Salmon and Diadromous Unit"--Abstract.
